Come on feet, start moving. Got to get me there.

Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh
Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah, Oh
 
  Ab                                   Db       B                Ab                                    Db  B
Twenty five miles from home girl    My feet are hurting mighty bad
                          Ab               Db           B                    Ab                                Db     B
Now I've been walking for three days    And two lonely nights    You know that I'm mighty mad, huh
        Ab                                   Db       B                   Ab                             Db   B
But I got a woman waiting for me    That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
                Ab                                Db                   B              Ab                             Db           B
You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing    A make a man go stone wild


                                   Ab                     Db    B                     Ab           Db    B       
So I got to keep on walkin', hmm hmm huh    I got to walk on, oh ho ho
Ab    F#    Db        Ab    Ab        F#            Db           Ab
I, I,    I, I,   I'm so tired        But I just can't lose my stride


I got fifteen miles to go now    And I can hear my baby calling my name
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door    I can hear that doggone plain
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby    And hold her in my arms one more time, heh
Now when I kiss her lips    I turn a back over flip     and I'll forget these feet of mine


I got to keep on walkin', hey,  I got to walk on.   Let me tell you y'all
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired  But I just can't lose my stride 

 

Horns: Ab B Db  B Db B x2. 

 (n.c.)    Ab                            Db                 B          Ab            Db
Wooh, come on feet don't fail me now    I got ten more miles to go
(n.c) Ab     Db     Ab       Db
I got nine, eight, seven, six, six, six
   Ab                                Db                 B              Ab                             Db
I got a five more miles to go now    Over the hill just around the bend
          B                    Ab                               Db          B                         Ab                       Db
Huh, although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride    I got to get to my baby again
